Chapter 397

Originally, Lord Yuan Shao was just a son of a concubine with no right of inheritance, and it was impossible for him to obtain the Lord Yuan clan's assets.

But now, with this move, Lord Yuan Wei and Lord Yuan Ji were trapped in Luoyang, and had even been imprisoned by Dong Zhuo.

Lord Yuan Shao had also successfully inherited more than half of the Lord Yuan clan's assets.

Looking at the current situation, once they gave Dong Zhuo a certain setback, Dong Zhuo would definitely use Lord Yuan Wei and Lord Yuan Ji's family as a sacrifice.

By then, Lord Yuan Shao would have completely brought the Lord Yuan clan's assets into his hands, without any fear of them slipping away.

As for Lord Yuan Shu?

Cao Cao estimated that Lord Yuan Shao had originally planned to scheme against Lord Yuan Shu as well.

It was a pity that Lord Yuan Shu was sent by Lord Yuan Wei to Nanyang during this process, escaping the vortex of Luoyang.

Successfully escaping a disaster.

Lord Yuan Shao's scheme failed by a small margin.

Fortunately, Lord Yuan Shu himself had a bad reputation and mediocre ability, and Lord Yuan Shao was confident he could beat Lord Yuan Shu.

Otherwise...

"Indeed!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Your brain is still very useful, Mengde!"

"I have to say, Lord Yuan Shao is truly ruthless!"

"With this move, he not only threw the world into chaos, bringing the Great Han one step closer to destruction;"

"He also completely cleared the obstacles to his control of the Lord Yuan clan and his great achievements: Lord Yuan Wei and Lord Yuan Ji's family. His methods were quite brilliant."

"Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would never have had a chance!"

"At this time, the Lord Yuan clan would probably have already taken Luoyang, controlled the capital, and radiated throughout the Great Han."

The situation would definitely not be what it is today.

"Alas!"

Cao Cao drank a cup of wine, his eyes cold: "What a Lord Yuan Benchu, what a Lord Yuan clan! What a calculation! What a scheme!"

"If Lord Yuan Shao hadn't caused trouble, they might have really succeeded!"

"I suppose today would be a different scene, right?"

"I really don't know whether to thank Lord Yuan Shao or curse him."

"I can only say that the restrictions and oppression caused by his background were too great, which is why he made such a ruthless decision!"

"In this regard, I can fully understand him!"

"Think of me, Cao Cao, haven't I also had a bumpy road as an official for more than ten years because of my background, looked down upon and despised by many court officials?"

"Just because my grandfather was the great eunuch Cao Jie?"

"This world is truly unfair!"

He used to envy Lord Yuan Shao's background.

Now it seems that the frustration and resentment in Lord Yuan Shao's heart were no less than his, perhaps even more!

After all, Lord Yuan Shao was clearly Lord Yuan Feng's son, and should have been the proud son of the Lord Yuan clan, enjoying all the benefits brought by the Lord Yuan clan;

Yet because of his mother's status, he was not recognized and was squeezed and mocked everywhere in the clan.

All his efforts were just making wedding clothes for Lord Yuan Ji and Lord Yuan Shu.

How could he be willing?
